Manage Your Business: From hiring workers to managing finances, you're in control of every aspect of your construction company. Run your own construction company. Bid on jobs, send the crew to the site, get the materials there on time and hand over the building. No crew, no materials, no progress. Contractor Simulator is a construction tycoon and management game: every job is a budget, a crew and a deadline. If there is still cash in the bank on payday, congratulations, you are growing. WIN THE BID Name your price, wait for the answer, land the job. The right number makes you money; the wrong one puts you in the red. RUN YOUR CREW Assign workers, foremen and excavators to each project. No crew on site means no progress. Salaries and equipment rent are due whether you like it or not. BUY MATERIALS Concrete, iron, brick, ceramic, glass, wood, kitchens, bathrooms, paint. Market prices change day by day and delivery takes 1 day or 3. Watch the price trend, buy low, deliver on time. WAREHOUSE & TRUCKS A full warehouse means no more purchases. Upgrade your storage, send the trucks and never let a site run dry. You do not want to see "paused due to insufficient material". BANK & BUDGET Out of cash? The bank is open. Take a loan, finish the job, pay it back. Keep an eye on the Stats panel. GROW THE CITY From cottages to apartment blocks to skyscrapers. Level up, build your reputation and move on to bigger cities. TIME KEEPS MOVING Days and hours tick on continuously; in a hurry? Hit Speed Up. WHAT'S INSIDE • A bright isometric low-poly city full of cranes, dump trucks and excavators • Phase-by-phase construction with live progress tracking • A materials market with price-trend charts and order tracking • Upgradable warehouse plus HR, Real Estates, Bank and Stats panels • Plays on iPhone and iPad; also runs on Macs with Apple silicon • Free to play Start your construction company, manage your crew, complete the projects.

Margin is a pursuit puzzle you win with your head, not your thumbs. Every level is a small board. You move one square at a time. So do the hunters — and they always take the step that brings them closest to you. That is the whole rule, and it is also the whole trick: because you know exactly what they will do, you can decide where they end up. An arrow above each hunter shows the step it is about to take. Read the arrows, and a level stops being a chase and becomes a plan: pull the pack one way, slip through the gap they leave, walk out through the exit. • Three tiers: Easy, Medium and Hard. Each one puts more hunters on the board and less room between them. • Daily Board: one board for everyone, every day, separately for Easy, Medium and Hard. Solve it to earn 20 points on Easy, 200 on Medium or 400 on Hard, and claim your spot in the daily ranking. • Friends and challenges: add friends by name or player number and challenge them in real time on the same boards. The first to reach the end wins; rematches, draws and your head-to-head record included. • 48 titles to earn, plus weekly and all-time leaderboards on Game Center. • Every level is generated and then solved by the game before you ever see it. If it is offered to you, it can be beaten. • Every board shows its minimum move count. Each extra move costs a point (up to 5), so the shortest escape earns the most. • A hint when you are stuck, and a fresh board whenever you want one. • No timers, no lives, no energy to wait for. Think as long as you like. • Plays in portrait, one thumb, anywhere. There is no margin for error. There is exactly one square of it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Contractor Simulator at none against GOA's 1. Contractor Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown). GOA's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 8 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
